> See here for a run through of this example.

The code for this example is in the test subdirectory of the ruffus module:

> `ruffus/test/simpler.py`

## Programme options:

> `--help````,` `-h```
>   show help message

### To specify tasks:

> `--target_tasks` `TARGET_TASK``,` `-t` `TARGET_TASK`

>   Target task(s) of pipeline. TARGET_TASK can be

>   - `task1`
>   - `task2`
>   - `task3`
>   - `task4`

>   For example:

>       complicated_example.py -t task1 -t task4

> `--forced_tasks` `FORCED_TASK``,` `-f` `FORCED_TASK`

>   Pipeline task(s) which will be run even if they are up to date.

>   See above for a list of pipelined tasks

> `--jobs` `N``,` `-j` `N`
>   N specifies number of concurrent process running jobs in parallel
> `--minimal_rebuild_mode````,` `-M```
>   Rebuild a minimum of tasks necessary for the target. Ignore upstream out of date tasks if intervening tasks are up to date.

### To print flowchart:

> `--dependency` `FILE``,` `-d` `file`
>   Print a dependency graph of the pipeline that would be executed to FILE, but do not execute it.
> `--dependency_graph_format` `FORMAT``,` `-F` `FORMAT`

>   Format of dependency graph file.

>   Can be:

>       * 'ps'

>       * 'png'

>       * 'gif'
>            (bitmap  graphics)

> `--just_print````,` `-n```
>   Print a description of the jobs that would be executed, but do not execute them.
> `--no_key_legend_in_graph````,` `-K```
>   Do not print out legend and key for dependency graph.
> `--draw_graph_horizontally````,` `-H```
